Members Droplaw621 Posted October 4, 2005 Members Share Posted October 4, 2005 what up dudes, just sitting here and thinking about what kind of new compressor I want to get. I'm wondering if you guys got any suggestions. I don't need anymore pedals so I would prefer that it can be rackmounted. Don't care bout prices.

Members Thumper Posted October 4, 2005 Members Share Posted October 4, 2005 OK, I know it's a pedal and you prefer rack-mount, but.... EH Black Finger (the new, tube model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 4string Posted October 4, 2005 Members Share Posted October 4, 2005 I had the Aphex Punch Factory for 3 years. Great unit and cheap. I bought a GT-6B so I sold most of my single pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LanEvo Posted October 4, 2005 Members Share Posted October 4, 2005 Originally posted by Droplaw621 whats the difference in the dbx 266 and dbx 166 except for price which can mean a lot I have a dbx 266XL compressor/gate in the single rackspace of my SWR RedHead. I love this unit! It has a very musical sound (especially if you use the "OverEasy" mode). The fact that you have two channels of compression and gating makes it very flexible. I currently have mine set up in serial. The first channel is set up for a little compression and very mild gating and the second is set up as a limiter. This works well for my playing style. But this also works well if you want extreme compression. Let's say you want 8:1 compression. If you just turn one compressor all the way up, you can get a harsh sound with lots of artifact. With two channels, however, you can set both to 4:1 and still get a total of 8:1 with more smoothness. I don't know too much about the 166XL. I "think" that it's supposed to sound closer to the classic dbx 160...but I'm not sure about that. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
